Hi all We have studying the Carancas event with several colleagues from Peru and elsewhere. In particular we analyze the case of the bull that was knocked by the explosion shockwave, as well as other similar situations. You can find a presentation about our work in:

Re: [meteorite-list] Carancas Bull

Does anyone know whether shock waves crated by an object the size of Carancas could have been sufficient to have killed a nearby bull? I don't have a clue as to how big the Carancas object would have been, but factoring in the objects velocity upon impact, I'd guess there would have been

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Carancas Bull Hi Bob... Bomb blasts were introduced as a way of ramping into a discussion of shock waves. Be it a bomb or an extraterrestrial impact, we're talking about the rapid compression of environmental air pressure. Let's look at Meteor Crater as an example

Hello Sterling, Darryl, Bob, Carl, and List, See also: A. Le PICHON et al. (2008) Evidence for a meteoritic origin of the Sept 15, 2007, Carancas crater (MAPS 43-11, 2008, pp.1797-1809). There are arguments about whether it's a pit or a crater .. and, as if to avoid a decision what to call

Re: [meteorite-list] Carancas Bull

Hello George, List I believe Carl pointed out that the translated term Bull does not necessarily mean bovine but could be any male animal. I don't know if ewe included all female animals and not just a female sheep. So the bull reference could be referring to the llama. In blast/overpressure

Hiya, My point was that an impact/blast that results in a mortality producing shock wave is universally defined as an impact/blast casualty. Your attempt to pull shock waves out of the equation in an assessment of an impact/blast is akin to taking water out the equation in a drowning.
